On Monday, the McDowell County Board of Commissioners recognized some county employees for their years of service. The commissioners have traditionally recognized employees at the annual Christmas banquet. However, the employees with 20-plus years of service were honored at the regular December meetings since dinner gatherings have not been held this year or the last. The employees who were recognized for 25 years of service include Kimberly Welborn (board of elections), Robert Greene (sheriff’s office), David Marler (sheriff’s office) and Terry DePoyster (public services).
